Fade Chen looked at this kind of poor and miserable scene with a serious face all the way.

It wasn't until the team approached the southern province, with the appearance of one army after another, that the scene was relieved a little.

Especially when the team entered the capital of the southern province, Fade Chen felt that the prosperity of this capital seemed to be comparable to that of the capital of the Sun Kingdom.

However, compared to the wealth and prosperity of the capital Wangcheng, the capital of the southern province is a little more solemn and murderous.

Because, from time to time, you can see heavily armed patrolling troops passing by on the street.

Even, vaguely, the roar of monster beasts could be heard dozens of kilometers away, on the border with Nanlin Kingdom.

Fade Chen did not enter the city with the team, but took An Qingyu, got off the convoy and entered the city on foot.

Holding An Qingyu's hand, walking in the city, the two looked at everything around them curiously.

After all, even An Qingyu, a local, has never been to this border city.

Therefore, everything here at this moment seems strange and novel to them.

Walking around the street, Fade Chen bought some gadgets and felt a little hungry, so he and An Qingyu found a restaurant on the side of the road.

"You two, what would you like to eat?"

The waiters in the restaurant are enthusiastic.

Fade Chen looked at An Qingyu and asked her to decide.

An Qingyu flipped through the menu and asked the waiter, "Do you have any special dishes that you can recommend?"

When the waiter heard this, he immediately became interested, "You two must be here for the first time! In this case, I recommend our restaurant's signature dish to the two of you—braised tender beef."

"Tender beef, is there anything special?"

An Qingyu asked.

The waiter said: "You two, our tender beef is not the usual kind of cultivated cattle.

It was a monster cow captured from Nanlin Country. "

"The meat quality of this monster beef that has achieved success in cultivation is not comparable to that of ordinary beef cattle.

The taste is fresh, delicious, and full of strength.

Not only delicious, but also rich in vitality, which can help in spiritual practice. "

"It can be said that the effect of eating a plate of beef from our restaurant is comparable to the effect of practicing a fire crystal."

The waiter's eloquence was so eloquent, but it really aroused the greediness of An Qingyu and Fade Chen.

So, Fade Chen waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's have a serving of the braised tender beef."

"Okay!"

The waiter wrote it down, and then asked, "What realm do you two want?"

"realm?"

Fade Chen showed doubts.

The waiter explained: "This monster, like a human, can practice cultivation, so there are also divisions of realms, from the first level of the Starfire Realm to the ninth level of the Starfire Realm."

"Ninth level of Starfire Realm, do you have this too?"

Fade Chen looked at the waiter.

The waiter gave a sly smile and said, "My lord, you are just joking.

At the ninth level of the Starfire Realm, those are big monsters who are about to transform into forms. How can we, a restaurant, catch them. "

"What's the limit?"

Fade Chen asked.

The waiter said: "There are Starfire Level 1 and Level 2 ones."

"Only these two?"

Fade Chen said.

The waiter hurriedly explained: "My lord, the second level of the Starfire Realm is already very rare.

Moreover, monsters of the same realm are stronger than us humans, and it takes a lot of effort to catch one, and sometimes even a person is involved. "

Fade Chen nodded slightly, but he understood somewhat.

On the other side, An Qingyu, who was a bit greedy at first, lost his appetite when he heard this.

After all, An Qingyu felt nauseous at the thought of those monsters that might take human form.

Not to mention eating directly.

"That's no need, I won't eat."

Fade Chen understood An Qingyu's thoughts, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, just serve us a few home-cooked dishes and a pot of wine."

"Ah, this--" the waiter was a little disappointed.

After all, the price of a plate of monster beef is more than 20 times different from the price of home-cooked dishes.

Seeing this, Fade Chen took out a fire crystal, slapped it on the table, and said, "Hurry up, this fire crystal is yours."

"Yes, yes, two, I'll go right away!"

Seeing Huo Jing, the waiter's eyes lit up, and he became excited again.

Soon, the dishes were served.

Finally, the waiter came over with a bottle of crystal clear wine, "You two, this is the most famous Spring Rain Jade Dew in Yangcheng, you two take it lightly."

"Spring rain and jade dew!"

Fade Chen became interested and was going to try it out.

At this moment, An Qingyu suddenly asked, "You said Yang Cheng just now, what was that?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then looked at An Qingyu, and said with a smile: "Miss, it seems that this is your first time visiting us!"

"This is the capital of the southern province, and the written name is Zhennan City.

However, the people here are used to calling this place Yangcheng. "

"Why?"

An Qingyu asked.

The waiter looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "You two should have heard of the Southern Yang family."

"The Yang family has governed our southern province for hundreds of years, and the current head of the Yang family, Yang Xiong, is the southern general of our country.

His eldest son, Yang Ding, is the deputy general of the South. "

"It can be said that the entire town of Zhennan is ruled by the Yang family.

Even King An Luo's orders didn't work here. "

"That's why everyone jokingly called our Zhennan City Yang City, which represents whose territory this is."

After hearing this, An Qingyu thought of something, her pretty face sank, and she looked at Fade Chen.

Fade Chen understood her worry, smiled lightly, and said, "It's okay, don't worry about me."

After waving the waiter away, Fade Chen held An Qingyu's hand, said a few words of comfort, and then finished the meal together.

After eating and leaving the restaurant, a guard came over, "Young Master Chen, General Yang Xiongyang, the Southern General, and Governor Han Ning, Governor of Zhennan City, welcome you, Young Master Chen, to the Governor's Mansion."

Fade Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, then nodded: "I see."

Then, he held An Qingyu's hand and walked towards the Governor's Mansion.

When he came to a huge stone building that was nearly 20 meters high, Fade Chen looked up and saw the words "Governor's Mansion" hanging above the gate in the center of the building.

The gate is very deep, and at first glance, it is pitch black, like a cave, and I don't know what is hidden inside.

But without any hesitation, Fade Chen took An Qingyu's hand and stepped into the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

Stepping steadily, through the door, into a spacious hall.

On both sides of the hall, two teams of burly soldiers stood neatly, fully armed, with serious faces, which made the atmosphere of the entire hall tense.

Right in front of the hall, there are three seats on the left, middle and right.

The seat in the center is larger than the two sides. Obviously, it should be the position of the governor and the two deputies.

However, at the moment sitting in the center of the governor's seat is a middle-aged man with a strong body in armor.

A man with a beard, a thin face, and a civil servant's face sat on the left side.

Seeing such a scene, Fade Chen's eyelids trembled slightly, he squinted slightly, and stared at the armored man.
